Chelsea Green Reveals Why She Put Her Family Plans ‘On Pause’ For WWE

Since returning to WWE in January 2023, Chelsea Green has become a staple of the women’s division, holding the Women’s Tag Team Championship and becoming the inaugural Women’s US Champion. In a recent interview, she discussed how that return affected her and her husband Matt Cardona’s plans to start a family.

Speaking with Woman’s World, Green revealed that they put their family plans on pause when she received the offer to come back to WWE. She explained that they both want to have children.

“We put it on pause when I was asked to come back to WWE. This was an opportunity we both knew we could not turn down. If I turn it down, I’m going to end up having kids and resent the family life,” Green stated.

She elaborated on their current situation and her desire to become a mother, while also being focused on her career.

“So here I am. I’m 34. I’m dying for babies. My husband wants babies… but duty calls. I’m making money. I’m living my dream. But hey, you never know. In a couple months, if it happens, God willing, it happens. I’ll just have to take my babies on the road with me!”

The discussion comes as Matt Cardona also made his recent WWE in-ring return, competing on the October 14 episode of NXT in a match against Josh Briggs.

Jacy Jayne Avoids Serious Injury, WWE NXT Star Sidelined

NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne appears to have avoided a serious injury after a scare at an NXT live event on October 9, where she suffered an apparent leg injury and required assistance to get backstage. However, while Jayne is reportedly fine, her Fatal Influence stablemate Fallon Henley may now be sidelined.

According to a report from Bryan Alvarez, the situation has shifted. “So the update on Jacy Jayne is apparently she’s fine,” Alvarez noted. “However Fallon is now injured. They did an assisted Sol Snatcher spot on a house show and it got botched and Sol landed right on Fallon’s head. Hopefully she’s OK and back in action soon, but was told it looked really bad.”

Meanwhile, Jayne’s next challenger has been determined. This past Tuesday’s pre-taped episode of NXT featured a number one contender’s battle royal, which was won by Tatum Paxley. Paxley will now challenge Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc. The event is scheduled for Saturday, October 25, at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.

The Fatal Influence faction has also seen a recent change in its lineup. Following the departure of Jazmyn Nyx from WWE, Lainey Reid was added to the group this week, joining Jayne and the currently injured Henley.

WWE Legal Action Believed To Be Behind Andrade’s AEW Absence

WWE Legal Action Believed To Be Behind Andrade’s AEW Absence

Following Andrade El Idolo’s return to AEW earlier this month, his sudden disappearance from television has been a topic of speculation. A new report suggests his absence may be due to a non-compete clause with WWE. On the October 16 edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that the belief is WWE intervened.

“What I’ve been hearing was WWE sent a letter. AEW obviously believed that there was no non-compete,” Meltzer said. “There were people who talked to people in WWE who also believed there was no non-compete. But WWE apparently… that’s the story. They said that he can’t do (anything in AEW) for 90 days.”

This information aligns with a previous report from Fightful Select, which noted that sources close to Andrade said he was in “good spirits” but did not explain his absence. The report also mentioned that the situation was not seen as “AEW or Andrade’s specific fault.”

The assumption was that Andrade was free of any restrictions due to the circumstances of his WWE release. However, this new development indicates WWE believes he is still within the standard 90-day non-compete window for main roster talent. Andrade’s future in AEW appears to be on a temporary hold, not because of creative decisions or injury, but due to a potential legal complication with his former employer. AEW has not commented on the matter publicly.

Alexa Bliss Reveals Origin of Tag Team With Charlotte Flair

Alexa Bliss has revealed the origin of her tag team with Charlotte Flair.

The Goddess recently had an interview with In The Kliq podcast. She talked about things such as balancing her wrestling career with being a mom, her work with Bray Wyatt and more.

During the interview, one-half of the current Women’s tag team champions explained how her tag team with Charlotte Flair was formed. She revealed that creative had a list of talents in need of storylines and Alexa Bliss herself pitched the idea of working with Charlotte Flair:

“This was something that came about very kind of randomly, we were talking to creative, and I kind of like threw it out there.

I was like, well, what about- they gave me like a list of names of people who were kind of like in this little bubble of needing storyline, and I was like, ‘well, what about Charlotte?’”

That’s Been Super Fun: Alexa Bliss

The WWE veteran mentioned how the success of their tag team has allowed both of them to show a different side of their characters. Before this, both Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair were only shown as stars who were after singles titles:

“We have this long past. They said Charlotte’s name and I was like, yeah, we have a long past I think it would be a fun dynamic to see what do these two people who don’t normally interact get along with other people or have success with other people look like getting stuck together and that’s been super fun.”

The alliance of convenience between Bliss and Flair was first teased on TV in June. They have gone on to become a popular and successful tag team, winning the tag titles at SummerSlam this year.

Released Superstar Appears During WWE Evolve Succession Event

Stevie Turner is no longer part of WWE, but that didn’t prevent her from appearing at the WWE Evolve Succession event. In a backstage segment, Turner was seen on the phone, speaking about AAA. Turner then spoke to actor/comedian Big Jahh, as part of a wider Tubi crossover.

Stevie Turner was among those who parted ways with WWE in October 2025. After her release, Turner shared she was excited to wrestle again, as she hadn’t competed in WWE for the majority of 2025. In a later statement, Turner expressed her gratitude to WWE, adding that she had no regrets over her four-year tenure.

Turner’s appearance wasn’t the only notable moment from WWE Evolve Succession. The event saw the crowning of a new WWE Evolve Women’s Champion in Kendal Grey. The title had previously been held by Kali Armstrong and this marked the first title change in the brand’s history.

Turner’s role at WWE Evolve Succession was certainly a surprise and it remains to be seen what’s next. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Stevie Turner.

DDP Says Jake Roberts Movie Is In The Works, Shares Struggles

Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts has led a captivating life, one full of highs and lows, both personally and professionally. Now, a movie about the WWE Hall of Famer’s life is in the works, but getting the production finished is proving easier said than done.

Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, ‘Diamond’ Dallas Page shared that writers have tried to turn Jake’s story into a screenplay. Despite their best efforts, none have been able to capture Roberts’ story and DDP’s connection to his friend.

“We’ve had a couple of guys come in and try to write it… The writing was great, really great, but it didn’t quite capture what they wanted it to be.”

Roberts was the subject of The Resurrection of Jake the Snake, a 2015 documentary chronicling his battles with substances and the help he’s received from DDP. Speaking to Helwani, DDP acknowledged that getting a feature film project off the ground is easier said than done.

“It’s been going on for years. I don’t really talk about it because… You know how hard it is to get something made, bro.”

Wrestling biopics have proven popular, including the critically acclaimed The Iron Claw from A24 that detailed the lives and tragedies of the Von Erich family. Mildred Burke’s life was the subject of Queen of The Ring, chronicling the life and career of one of pro-wrestling’s most influential women.

Whether this project ever sees the silver screen, time will tell. Nevertheless, Jake’s story of struggle and redemption shows the determination of the beloved WWE Hall of Famer.

AEW/ROH Wrestler Queen Aminata Dealing With Knee Injury

Queen Aminata is dealing with an injury, but the AEW/ROH star is determined to power through this setback. During her latest vlog, Aminata shared that she hurt her knee during training.

“I can’t really run today because when I came in, I was rolling around the ring, and I hurt my knee a little.“

Despite this injury, Aminata went to the AEW tapings in Jacksonville and performed in a pre-tape segment. Later in the video though, Aminata admitted that her knee was getting worse.

“My knee is so freaking sore. But let’s go. Traveling. Traveling is the hardest part. But here we go. Work never ends. I got home super tired and my knee was super sore and swollen.“

Aminata debuted in AEW during an episode of Dark in April 2021, and debuted for Ring of Honor in December the following year. Her AEW TV debut would come in January 2024 when she lost to Mariah May (now WWE’s Blake Monroe) on AEW Dynamite.

At this time, it is unclear if Aminata will need to miss any time in the ring, or what exactly happened to her knee. Stay tuned to SEScoops for updates on her situation.

Dominik Mysterio Comments On Potential Match With ‘Old Geezer’ John Cena

Dominik Mysterio has commented on a potential match with John Cena.

Despite all the accolades in his long career, the Cenation Leader has never won the Intercontinental Championship. With only four dates left in his retirement tour, there has been a lot of talk on whether or not we’ll see Cena holding the belt.

During a recent interview with tonyfree27, Dirty Dom was asked about the potential match with the Peacemaker star. The current IC Champion said that if the ‘old geezer’ wants him to put the final nail in his coffin, he knows where to find the Judgment Day star:

“At the end of the day, I’m here. If John Cena wants some, he can come get some. He’s got four dates left, you said.

If that old geezer wants me to put a final nail in his coffin, I’ll be more than happy to. That’s what I’m here for. I’m here to be and stay your dirty double champ.”

John Cena is set for two Raw appearances in November, followed by a match at Survivor Series. It’ll be his last PLE as an active competitor before his retirement match at the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Reports suggest that the 17-time world champion will indeed challenge Dominik Mysterio for his title at the next WWE PPV, but we’ll have to wait for his TV return next month for the confirmation.

Matt Hardy Ready For More After Brothers Mark 33 Years In Wrestling

Matt Hardy is excited for another year of teaming with his brother after he and Jeff celebrated their 33-year anniversary as pro-wrestlers. On X, Hardy shared a pair of photos, one of his and Jeff’s first promo ‘pic’ and another from their recent TNA Bound for Glory outing. Matt shared his gratitude for his career and his excitement for the future.

“Today marks 33 full years that Jeff & I have been pro wrestlers. October 15th, 1992 was our first match in Carthage, NC. Here is our first promo pic, followed by our most recent pic, taken at BFG on Sunday. If you told young 1992 us we would experience all the success we have, we wouldn’t have believed it.

“My brother & I are both so grateful. Grateful for our loyal & dieHARDY fanbase. Grateful for the opportunities we’ve earned & been given. Grateful to God we’re as healthy as we are after all the punishment we’ve put our bodies thru. Grateful we’ve been able to inspire multiple generations.

“Thank you for letting these 2 kids from Cameron, NC live their childhood dreams & thrive in life. We are both SO blessed. With that said, it’s time to go to work in year number 34.”

This post earned plenty of responses from fans, as well as from WWE’s Natalya, who called the pair “inspiring.” Matt was touched by the response and added that the same label could be applied to the former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Matt and Jeff currently hold four titles in wrestling, a testament to their popularity that remains stronger than ever. The pair are the current 4th Rope Wrestling Tag Team Champions, and are in their fourth reign as TNA World Tag Team Champions. At WWE Showdown, the duo captured the NXT Tag Team Championships, ending the reign of Dark State. More recently, they captured the House of Glory Tag Team Championships, kicking off their second reign.

From being plucky kids fighting on trampolines to emerging victorious at some of wrestling’s biggest events, Matt and Jeff are a proven success story. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on the Hardy Boys.

WWE Alum Maven Busts Scammer Pretending To Be Him

Former WWE Superstar Maven Huffman has confronted a scammer pretending to be him to dupe fans out of their hard-earned money. In his latest YouTube video, Maven shared that he recently learned of somebody pretending to be him, who has been sharing a WhatsApp number where fans can chat.

Reaching out to the number, the real Maven tried to look for clues as to who this imposter really is. When the imposter said that the ‘fan’ he was speaking to “are a big fans,” Maven suggested that this fake is somebody who doesn’t use English as their first language.

Maven also tried to trick the fake by feeding him fake information. When Maven shared that he’d been a fan of ‘Maven’ since watching his debut on Tough Enough in 2003, the fake was pleased to hear it. If the fake had been the real deal, he would have known that Maven debuted on Tough Enough in 2001.

The fake Maven then asked if the real Maven wanted a trading card, despite the real Maven sending a picture of said card. The scammer said they could send Maven a fan card, if Maven sends him an Apple card worth $500.

It took just 22 minutes from the first message for the scammer to ask for money, though Maven was able to talk the price down to $200. Instead of sending a video of the gift card, Maven sent a video calling out the scammer and revealing his true identity.

Rather than give money to the scammer, Maven shared that he’d donate $500 to Diva for a Day, a charity that gives spa and wellness experiences to women fighting cancer. Maven’s story, and other worrying tales about scammers, show why fans should always be vigilant with who they speak to online.

AEW Cancelled Plans For A Performance Center This Year (Report)

AEW cancelled plans for a training center.

Since the inception of AEW in 2019, People have been discussing how the company needs a training facility for its talents and what a Performance Center for them would look like.

At one point, there were talks of CM Punk’s trainer Ace Steel leading the facility, before both of them abruptly left the company after the infamous backstage incident with Jack Perry.

The discussions about a potential training facility picked up once again this week and Fightful Select provided an update on it, revealing that the officials actually cancelled similar plans this year once again.

The site revealed that the company does have a building with a ring that talent can access but there had also been talks of a bigger facility earlier this year. The discussion was centered around establishing a hub in Asheville, North Carolina.

Both Adam Copeland and FTR reside in the area and would have helped train the talent if the plans had moved forward. It’s also why Steven Borden; the son of Sting was going to Asheville for his wrestling training.

The promotion ultimately decided not to move forward with these plans with rumors suggesting that the expected cost associated with a full-fledged facility led to this decision.

Kendal Grey Captures WWE Evolve Women’s Championship

Kendal Grey defeated Kali Armstrong to win the WWE Evolve Women’s Championship on October 15, 2025, during the WWE Evolve: Succession special on Tubi. The rematch victory marks a significant redemption for Grey, who fell short in the inaugural championship match at the same event five months prior.

Armstrong’s 139-day reign came to an end when Grey secured the pinfall victory in the event’s second match. Armstrong had claimed the title on May 28 as the inaugural champion, defeating Grey, Wendy Choo, and Kylie Rae in a four-way bout. With this reversal, Grey becomes only the second WWE Evolve Women’s Champion in the division’s brief history.

Rising Through WWE’s NIL Program

Grey, whose real name is Peyton Prussin, brings substantial credentials to her championship run. The Life University standout earned three NAIA wrestling championships and was a 2023 finalist for USA Wrestling’s Women’s Wrestler of the Year. She joined WWE through its Name, Image and Likeness program in early 2024 and has been making an impression on NXT, reaching the final four in a recent NXT Women’s Championship #1 Contender Battle Royal.

The Kendal Grey era is upon us.

Taz Undergoes Successful Shoulder Surgery

AEW announcer Taz has undergone successful shoulder surgery. The update was provided by his broadcast colleague Excalibur during the October 15 episode of AEW Dynamite. Taz, a former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, has been a staple of the Dynamite commentary team alongside Excalibur and Tony Schiavone, and his absence was noticed by viewers. The announcement confirmed that the procedure went as planned and that the popular announcer is now on the road to recovery.

The news of the surgery first came to light on October 8, when Taz himself informed his followers on social media about the impending procedure. He detailed the nature of the surgery and prepared fans for his upcoming absence from AEW programming. In his post, Taz stated, “I will be having total shoulder replacement surgery in a short time. Therefore I will be off AEW Dynamite for some time. See you soon.”

This recent shoulder replacement is not the first significant surgery the wrestling veteran has had to endure in recent years, highlighting the physical toll his in-ring career took on his body. In 2024, Taz underwent a total knee replacement, another operation to address long-standing injuries.

His career in promotions like ECW and WWE was known for its high-impact, suplex-heavy style, which contributed to the wear and tear that has caused these procedures later in life. At this time, it is unknown how long Taz will be sidelined from his duties as an announcer.

CM Punk Takes Out Dominik Mysterio With Rhea Ripley’s Finisher At WWE Event

Following a televised episode of Monday Night RAW in Australia, WWE held a non-televised live event for the fans in Melbourne. The show featured an Intercontinental Championship match where the titleholder, Dominik Mysterio of The Judgment Day, defended his gold against CM Punk. The contest was part of WWE’s tour that also included SmackDown and the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.

The championship match ended in a disqualification when Dominik Mysterio’s stablemates, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, interfered to save his title. The odds were soon evened as Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky made their way to the ring to support CM Punk. The two babyfaces quickly neutralized Rodriguez and Perez, leaving “Dirty” Dom alone to face the consequences.

The post-match action saw Ripley shove Mysterio, causing him to stumble and trip over Iyo Sky. This allowed CM Punk to recover and hit Mysterio with his signature GTS (Go to Sleep) finishing maneuver. However, the humiliation for the Intercontinental Champion was not over, as Punk had more planned for the Melbourne audience.

CM Punk lifted Mysterio and executed Rhea Ripley’s own finishing move, the Riptide. To add to the embarrassment, Punk then pinned Mysterio using Ripley’s signature “pretzel pin.” Punk then motioned for Ripley to make the count, and she obliged, counting to three as the fans cheered for the babyfaces celebrating in the ring.

AEW Star Thought Company’s Offer Was A Rib

AEW World Trios Champion Powerhouse Hobbs recently looked back on the uncertain and frightening period in his life that led to him signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2020. Before becoming a multi-time champion in AEW, Hobbs was facing unemployment during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and was struggling to find work to support his family, which included a newborn daughter.

During a new interview with 96.5 The Fan, Hobbs was candid about his initial disbelief when he was first contacted by AEW.

“Frightening, because I just got laid off from my job. My daughter was, shoot, a couple months old. So it was like I couldn’t get hired anywhere. I applied at fast food spots. They were like, ‘nah.’

You know, it was bad, because I was overqualified from what I was told. But man, I got a call and QT Marshall actually texted me and I didn’t respond back for like three, four hours. So I thought somebody was ribbing me and I had a text from Cody Rhodes. Then I was just like, I gotta bet on myself at this point.

So, the story is already out there, man, it took off. I had a debut match against Orange Cassidy, then my second match was a six man against the Dark Order, and then week after week, I started showing up on Dark and Tony (Khan) gave me that okay, gave me that head nod, that opportunity, which we all want in wrestling. You want that opportunity to prove yourself, and he saw something in me and the rest is history. TNT champ, one third of the Trios Tag Team Champions. Can’t complain, man.”

He is currently one-third of the reigning AEW World Trios Champions alongside his partners in The Opps, Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata.

Samoa Joe Reacts To AJ Styles Crown Jewel Tribute

Samoa Joe has responded to AJ Styles’ recent tribute.

John Cena has been paying tribute to many of his career opponents through their moves in recent matches. His latest Crown Jewel encounter with AJ Styles saw The Phenomenal One busting out some tributes of his own, giving a nod to TNA veterans such as Sting, Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe.

During a recent interview with Forbes to promote the WrestleDream PPV, The Samoan Submission Machine was asked about this moment from the latest WWE PLE. The former AEW Champion claimed that it pales in comparison to his friendship with the WWE star:

“I mean, it’s cool. It’s really, really cool. Obviously, I’m super flattered, but I think my friendship with AJ over the years has always been super duper strong. So, I mean, any tribute always pales in comparison to the phone calls and trash talk that usually happen anytime we get together.”

Unyielding Amounts of Respect: Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe has shared the ring with AJ Styles in multiple companies at various stages of their careers. The two legends have squared off against each other and joined forces against other opponents in ROH, TNA and even WWE. While Joe’s record with John Cena is not as extensive, the two veterans did cross paths for a couple of matches under the WWE banner in 2017.

The former TNA World Champion noted that it’s good to be appreciated by his peers in this way and that he is honored and flattered by this recognition:

“So, yeah, I’m obviously more than honored and flattered. It’s good to know that your peers appreciate that sense, especially when it talks about the breadth of their career and what it means to them.

I’m beyond honored—it’s an awesome thing to see. I have unyielding amounts of respect for both men involved in that match, and I’m so happy that [Styles and John Cena] are getting their flowers.”

The WrestleDream PPV taking place from St. Louis, Missouri this Saturday will see Samoa Joe challenging Hangman Adam Page for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

AJ Styles Says Goodbye to Australia Ahead of 2026 WWE Retirement

AJ Styles recently shared that he plans to retire in 2026, ending an incredible and lengthy in-ring career. For fans, they will have one final year to see Styles in action live, and for fans in Australia, it appears their opportunity has already come and gone.

Styles was part of a WWE live event in Melbourne, Australia, where he faced El Grande Americano. Taking the mic after his match, Styles expressed his appreciation to the Australian fans, acknowledging that it was likely his last time competing down under.

“I just wanted to thank you guys for being some of the best fans in the world. Here’s the truth, I’m probably not gonna be seen like this in a singlet here anymore, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.”

Styles’ comments come after his and John Cena’s instant classic at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth in October 2025. Other Styles highlights in Australia include retaining the WWE title against Samoa Joe in 2018 and interfering in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match at the 2024 event of the same name.

Questions remain about Styles’ retirement, including whether he will have a lengthy tour akin to the ongoing farewell from John Cena. Whatever is planned, Styles is going to appreciate every moment with his fans.

Alexa Bliss Says Her Time With Bray Wyatt Was The “Most Fun I’ve Ever Had In My Career”

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Alexa Bliss has shared some fond and insightful memories of her time working with the late, great Bray Wyatt. In 2020, Bliss’s character underwent a dark and dramatic transformation after she became entangled with Wyatt’s alter ego, “The Fiend.”

In a new interview, Bliss reflected on the creative process and what she learned from the visionary performer. Speaking with “In The Kliq,” Bliss praised Wyatt’s incredible creativity and the depth he brought to his characters.

“I always say it was the most fun I’ve ever had in my career, because it was such a fun challenge. When I first joined with Bray, I remember thinking, ‘I don’t wanna be the one to mess this up.’ Because he had such a cool thing going with the Firefly Fun House and the Wyatt Family and the whole thing. So for me, I was stepping into his world and I wasn’t gonna be the one to bring it down.
I remember when I first started working with him, he gave me this whole – because he does deep dives on his characters, deep, deep dives, all this research – he was like, ‘Watch these documentaries, watch these scary movies, watch this, take notes on this.’ And it really made me appreciate the fact that it wasn’t just doing research on your character – he created a whole world for his character. And that was something that I took with me, you have to know your character inside and out… and that was something that really opened my eyes character-wise.
He was a creative genius, and he saw the world of WWE in a different way than anybody else ever has, and he created this whole alternate universe within the WWE universe. And that was something that I found so fascinating, his creativity… It was so cool to not only witness but be a part of.”

Bliss also sharedher happiness that Wyatt’s vision is being kept alive through the new Wyatt Sicks faction and other projects.

“And the fact that we’re continuing his story with the Wyatt Sicks and we have the Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks House at the Universals, I think it’s so cool. I just love that the WWE as a whole is keeping his vision alive and keeping him alive. I think that he would be super happy with everything that we’re doing to keep it going.”

Matt Cardona Breaks Silence On His In-Ring WWE Return

“The Indy God” Matt Cardona has shared his first public comments following his shocking and highly anticipated in-ring return to WWE on the October 14 episode of NXT. The former Zack Ryder competed in a WWE ring for the first time in over five years, facing off against Josh Briggs in a hard-fought contest.

“Thank you…
I may have lost the match, but tonight was a win.
I’ll never quit…and I’m ALWAYZ READY.”

Cardona’s last match in WWE prior to this return was on the March 9, 2020, episode of Monday Night Raw, where he lost to Bobby Lashley. He was released from his contract in April 2020. In the years since, he became one of the most talked-about performers in the world, capturing championships in promotions like GCW and the NWA.

IYO SKY Explains Unmatched Chemistry With Rhea Ripley

IYO SKY has explained her chemistry with Rhea Ripley.

The former WWE Women’s World Champion recently had an interview with Chris Van Vliet. She talked about things such as what was special about her WrestleMania 41 victory, the WarGames trash can moonsault spot and more.

The Japanese star has formed a popular partnership with Rhea Ripley in recent times and the two even teamed to defeat The Kabuki Warriors at Crown Jewel last week. When asked why she thinks she has great chemistry with The Mami, IYO SKY explained that their different styles make them great partners:

“I think so, because she has muscle. I’m running fast. I’m so small, but I can flip and she’s not a flipping person, like so much the opposite. So that’s why I think we have great chemistry.”

They Shape Who We Are: IYO SKY

The High-Flying star also explained her love for wrestling during the interview. She discussed the difference between other combat sports and wrestling, mentioning how losses are just as important in the business as the wins:

“Wrestling is my life. It is hard to explain. So in combat sport, wins and losses are all that matter.

However, it’s only pro wrestling where losses have a value because they shape who we are and give us a chance to turn into something special. Additionally, in pro wrestling, it is important for a character to have weaknesses.”

SKY was on Ripley’s side when the former NXT UK champion picked up a victory over Kairi Sane on this week’s Raw. Asuka unleashed a post-match attack on the two afterward, however. The Kabuki Warriors stood tall at the end of the segment, signalling that this rivalry is not over just yet.

WWE Superstar CM Punk has once again reminded fans of the importance of privacy with a strongly worded message on social media. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Punk made clear that those who lurk around waiting to accost wrestlers are no better than stalkers.

“We unfortunately have to have this conversation again. Do not turn up at airports. Do not show up at hotels. I cannot believe I have to say this. DO NOT FOLLOW PEOPLE. You’ve repeatedly been politely told no, respect it. You are not a fan, you are a stalker and will be treated as such. Respect the boundaries. Stop harassing people.”

It’s unclear if a specific incident has prompted this message from Punk, but this is not his first time speaking on the matter. In 2024, Punk called out fans waiting at airports for autographs, sharing that they often use their children as ‘shields’ to avoid criticism. Cody Rhodes recently shared that many who wait at airports simply get autographs to sell on for profit.

Punk will mark two years since returning to WWE next month, and has a future World Heavyweight Championship opportunity lined up. While Punk is pleased to represent WWE and appreciates his legion of fans, he has no time for those who take things too far.

Grayson Waller Reacts To Logan Paul Comparisons

Grayson Waller doesn’t take the Logan Paul comparisons negatively.

The Australian star recently had an interview with Battleground podcast. He talked about things such as his viral Meet & Greet moment, working with big names such as John Cena and Edge and more.

During the talk, Waller was also asked about being compared to the YouTube star. Grayson explained that he doesn’t take the comparison negatively at all, mentioning the success Logan Paul has had inside and outside of WWE:

“I don’t think that is a negative at all. Obviously, everything Logan’s done inside a short amount of time is very impressive. Look at everything he does outside the WWE. Look at the eyes that he brings to WWE.”

He Genuinely Cares: Grayson Waller

Grayson Waller then revealed that he actually got to work with the former US Champion when he first joined the company. Waller was in NXT at the time and since Shawn Michaels was not going to get in the ring with Paul for his training, the job fell on the former tag team champion:

“I could tell that day like he genuinely cares about what we do, and he’s very passionate. When you’re coming in as a celebrity, I think that’s, that’s the line that we draw in the locker room. Like, do you actually care about this?

Are you trying to get a payday, trying to get eyes on you? Are you trying to just take from us? But Logan’s not that guy. He genuinely cares, and he’s very good at it, and I think that upsets a lot of people, so if I get compared to him, I’m not stressing, but I also do think I set myself apart from Logan in a lot of ways.”

The 35-year-old later explained that him being a full-time talent sets him apart from Logan. Since the social media celebrity has a lot of things going on, he can’t be constantly available for appearances in WWE the way Grayson Waller is.

WWE Talent Disappointed Over Ridge Holland Treatment

The Ridge Holland situation is not ideal for WWE.

The English star announced earlier this week that the company had decided not to renew his deal and he will be leaving the promotion when his contract expires on November 14.

The announcement led to uproar on social media because Holland is currently out of action. Ridge has been dealing with an injury he suffered while working a TNA taping last month as part of the company’s partnership with NXT.

Fightful Select provided some updates on this situation to better explain how the release will affect the former WWE star, real name Luke Menzies.

The site revealed that Holland, who had returned to NXT in 2023 after a main roster stint, had been making less money recently. He signed a contract extension with the company in November 2024 after his original main roster deal expired.  This extension, however, came with a pay cut of about $200,000.

Some fans had praised WWE for deciding to pay for Ridge Holland’s rehab even after his release. The report notes, however, that the 37-year-old had not been paid anything extra for the TNA dates, and not paying for his rehab would leave TKO vulnerable to potential lawsuits.

The former NXT tag champion is expected to stay on the shelf for the next 6 months. Talents within the company are disappointed with the fact that the promotion will not pay Holland through this period, when he’ll be unable to work elsewhere.

One veteran talent said that something like this would have never happened before the pandemic and the whole situation is cause for significant concern for the locker room.

Fatal Influence Confirms New Member After Jazmyn Nyx’s WWE Exit

WWE NXT’s Fatal Influence lost a member when Jazmyn Nyx parted ways with WWE after choosing not to sign a new contract. Now, the faction is once again a trio as Laney Reid has officially aligned with Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley.

On the October 14, 2025, episode of WWE NXT, Reid was introduced as the faction’s newest member. Reid said that Jayne and Henley were “titans” of the NXT Women’s division. She added that a recent loss to Jayne made her realize that she needed to follow their approach and be dedicated to “winning at all costs.”

Reid confirmed that she was the one who attacked Nyx, a kayfabe explanation of why the ex-NXT star is no longer part of the group. After making her intentions clear, Reid was officially welcomed in by Jacy Jayne.

With Reid now joining the dominant faction, fans can expect to see much more of her on TV. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Fatal Influence.
